Last night, while I safe, while I was sleeping, a woman woke up to a man in her home. She was raped. He drove away in her car. This morning the woman's car was found in front of my house. I was curled in my bed and I had probably been complaining about something petty in the hours before. While I got my rest, some one's life was taken away. Some one's whole being was violated in ways I cannot even imagine. I'm sitting here shaking, not out of fear, but out of anger and disgust. I cannot even begin to imagine the horror this woman is experiencing. To wake up to a stranger in your bedroom who proceeds to destroy your life, to wake up to your home blockaded by police men and 2 news crews, followed by the echoing of the announcement of a rape, is to wake up on this putrid planet.
